Sesame Hoisin Tuna Salad Recipes

SESAME HOISIN TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Make the tuna marinade by placing all ingredients in a quart-size plastic bag. Add tuna to marinade and refrigerate 30 minutes. Do not marinate any longer or the tuna will turn to mush!
• While the tuna marinates, make the frico chips, prepare all your salad ingredients by washing greens, cutting veggies, and make the vinaigrette last.
• For the frico chips - line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat. Mix the parmesan and sesame seeds together and drop by tablespoon-fulls onto the baking sheet. You should have 6 small piles of the cheese/seed mixture. Bake at 375 for 7 minutes or until golden. Cool completely before carefully removing them with a small spatula. Set aside on a plate until ready to garnish the salad.
• To make the salad dressing - combine all ingredients in a small tupperware with a lid and shake vigorously. Set aside until ready to dress the salad plates.
• To sear the tuna - heat a skillet on medium high heat. While it heats, remove the tuna from marinade and pat dry. Discard marinade. MIx the coarse salt, pepper, and sesame seeds on a plate and coat both sides of each tuna steak in this mixture. Sear for 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare tuna and transfer to a plate. Cool 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2'' thick strips.
• Assemble the salad - Divide lettuce among 2 plates. Arrange 4 tomato wedges and 4 grapefruit segments around the lettuce on each plate. Add the avocado on top of lettuce, then top with sliced tuna. Drizzle each salad with 2-3 Tablespoons of vinaigrette, then wedge the frico chips between the tuna slices for a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your masterpiece!
